“We can cordially commend Canon Hannay’s book to all who want to know what sort of men inhabit Ireland, what they think about, and in what way they will bear themselves in the hour of trial; we commend it to all who think some working compromise can be devised to inveigle Ulster under a Dublin parliament, and who imagine that because a policy is useful and desirable it must therefore also be practicable.”
